Remote build cache options, compared

Compare a focused managed cache with full platforms and DIY backends across Nx, Lerna, Turborepo, Gradle, and Bazel. These breakdowns cover scope, maintenance, security, insight, and cost so you can decide what to adopt, what to run yourself, and what to hand off.

Cachely vs Nx Cloud

Nx Cloud is a full platform - distributed task execution, runners, and cache, priced on usage and seats. See where the managed cache (with ROI and cache-poisoning safety) is all you actually need.

See the comparison ->

Cachely vs a DIY self-hosted Nx cache

Running your own nx-cache-server or S3 bucket wiring. See what you trade away on maintenance, security (CVE-2025-36852), insight, and cost - and how the managed version compares.

See the comparison ->

Cachely vs the Nx Powerpack cache packages

@nx/s3-cache, @nx/gcs-cache, @nx/azure-cache, and @nx/shared-fs-cache are deprecated because CVE-2025-36852 cannot be patched out of them. See how Cachely implements the OpenAPI spec Nx points migrators at.

See the comparison ->

Cachely vs Vercel Remote Cache

Turborepo's first-party cache is free on Vercel plans. See when it is the right default, and when scoped read-only tokens, ROI insights, and a Vercel-independent cache are worth switching for.

See the comparison ->

Cachely vs a self-hosted Bazel cache

bazel-remote, nginx, and object storage give you control but leave authentication, retention, monitoring, and uptime to your team. Compare that work with a managed HTTP cache.

See the comparison ->

Cachely vs Develocity

Develocity is a broad developer productivity platform. See when its build scans and test acceleration are the right choice, and when a focused native Gradle cache is enough.

FAQ

Choosing between Cachely, Nx Cloud, and a DIY cache

What is Cachely, in one sentence?
Cachely is the managed self-hosted Nx remote cache: the cache backend you would otherwise run yourself, hosted for you, with ROI reporting, tool insights, and cache-poisoning safety on top.
Should I choose Cachely, Nx Cloud, or a DIY self-hosted cache?
Choose Cachely when the managed remote cache is all you need and you want a flat subscription without maintenance. Choose Nx Cloud when you also need distributed task execution and cloud runners. Choose a DIY self-hosted cache only when you are willing to own the server, storage, security patching, and on-call yourself.
Is Cachely cheaper than Nx Cloud?
Cachely uses a flat subscription with no per-seat, per-workspace, or per-usage fees, so cost is predictable as you add developers, bots, and CI actors. Nx Cloud is priced on usage and seats, which scales with team size and CI volume.
Does Cachely protect against the Nx cache-poisoning attack (CVE-2025-36852)?
Yes. Cachely enforces read-only tokens at the API, so pull-request and fork builds can read the cache but never write a poisoned artifact. A DIY cache only protects you if you build and maintain that enforcement yourself.
